Calculating Your Spare Money​

Before determining the amount you can shop for each trip, calculate your spare money. This is the amount of money available after covering all your travel expenses, including accommodation, transportation, food, and emergency funds. Ensure you have a minimum of $1,000 available for each trip.

Setting Your Shopping Amount​

To set your shopping amount for each trip:

  1. List Your Travel: Use the AirJIT app or website to list your travel.
  2. Enter Available Space: Specify the available luggage space for each trip accurately.
  3. Set Shopping Amount: Enter the amount you are willing to spend on shopping on demand (Shop and Carry). If you do not want to offer this service, enter zero.

Managing Shopping Funds​

Ensure your shopping funds are readily accessible and accepted at the time of purchase. These funds can be in cash, on cards, or in a bank account. Always communicate with shippers to confirm items and prices before making any purchases.

Adjusting Shopping Amounts​

If your spare money changes, you can adjust your shopping amount:

  1. Update Your Listing: Modify your travel listing on AirJIT to reflect the new shopping amount.
  2. Communicate with Shippers: Notify shippers of any adjustments needed for their requested items.

Handling Higher Purchase Prices​

If the purchase price is higher than what the shipper or AirJIT provided, request the shipper to update their purchase price. Only proceed with the purchase after the price is adjusted or the shipper agrees with you in messages.

Responsibilities​

  • Travelers: Ensure they have the required spare money and manage funds properly.
  • Shippers: Deposit the purchase price to AirJIT, which is escrowed until delivery confirmation.
